Unfortunately that’s just the start of it.
My Mum (82) also had a fall recently, she tried to tough it out but gave up after 3 days of no sleep, so it was off to her local minor injuries clinic, a 2 hour wait to be seen & then an hour for X-rays and CT scan didn’t seem too bad, but they were concerned about internal bleeding due to her being on Warfarin, so we were sent to A&E … 6 hours before being seen, anyway they gave her the all clear on the bleeding, just a broken finger which they strapped and an appointment at the fracture clinic 3 days later. The appointment was for 11:00 and she wasn’t seen until 14:00, had her finger put in an elasticated support and was also told that A&E had missed her broken rib, which couldn’t be fixed but at least she knows why it’s so bloody painful.
So a total of 12 hours waiting.
Judging by our experience the NHS does seems woefully understaffed.
